The story of Oliver Hazard — Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar), Devin East (vocals, guitar), and Nate Miner (keys, vocals) — is a modern take on classic band mythmaking. After returning home to Ohio from leading camping trips in California, one member decided to make an album with two childhood friends.

The trio won a Facebook raffle to record a single song at a studio, but instead played their entire album straight through in one take, resulting in their 2018 debut LP, 34 N River. The album was praised by The Fader as a “folk-pop masterpiece,” helping the band secure festival appearances at Bonnaroo and Mountain Jam.

In 2019, they released the six-track EP The Flood, which Billboard described as a “souvenir.” Their self-titled sophomore album followed in July 2023, combining songs from their earlier Northern Lights EP with five new tracks. Most recently, the band released the Raindrop River EP in December 2024.

Oliver Hazard’s next chapter continues to tell the story of Waterville, Ohio — a small town with a big heart. Their music serves as a soundtrack to everyday life, lifting spirits and inviting listeners to find beauty in the ordinary.
